The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) and its Patient Education Committee (PEC) are pleased to release a new Choosing Wisely Canada™ (CWC) toolkit.Thisinnovative initiative is aimed at educating the public about anticipated changes in how family physicians approach health care prevention.

Building on the success of the CWC campaign, the CFPC launched a whiteboard video titled Do More Screening Tests Lead to Better Health? This video was developed by the Dr. Mike Evans Lab group and focuses on a number of common screening tests: vitamin D malabsorption, mammography, thyroid testing, chest X-ray and electrocardiograms, Pap smears, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and annual physical exams.
